  • the web-based service has an application programming interface, API, and/or a web-based user interface.
  • the user X of the user device is able to define an event and/or trigger with the web-based service via the API and/or user interface. This defining may also be considered to register an event and/or trigger.

  • the intervals are defined by there respective duration and/or predetermined points of time.
  • Each interval has an individual timing of the reduced connection mode. That is, one interval has at least one of: different durations, different checking frequencies, different classification rules, different triggers. In an example during interval I1, i.e. late evening, the checking frequency may be high. Later at night during interval 12 the checking frequency is reduced.

  • the web-based service is configured to check certain triggers, instead of the user device of user X.
  • triggers which are accessible via an API.
  • the access via the API may be restricted by a password and/or username of X, the web-based service is configured to save both of which. Examples of such triggers are an ebay alert, a price alert, stock prices and such.

  • Users X and Y may be coworkers which are both on a business trip. While user X is on his hotel room preparing a presentation user Y is having dinner with a client. Users X and Y arranged that user Y will return by taxi or with the client, however, as a fall back user Y will call user X in order for user X to pick user Y up. That is, user X expects a call or message from user Y at some point during the night. When user X goes to bed he actives the reduced connection mode. Preferably, the reduced connection mode has been set-up via the web-based service.
  • a trigger T is defined, that is calls or messages from user Y are classified as important. That is a call or message from user Y will cause an alarm of the user device of user X.
  • user Y has also access to the web-based service.
  • User Y may have access to the trigger T.
  • User Y may be blocked from access to other triggers of the user device of user X. This has the advantage that user Y can cancel the trigger T, e.g. in case a solution for the transport has been found.
  • the user device of user X does not have to check for T any longer during the night.
  • the device may stop connecting to the network for the remaining time of the reduced connection mode.
  • user Y may also directly access the reduced connection mode of user X via an access to the web-based service. That is, user Y may manually set a trigger for user X and thus cause an alarm the next time the user device of user X is connected to the network.
